 [Am] x2

H[G]e's only si[Am]x years old, tha[D]t old Killer died[G].

P[G]ut him down in a gr[Am]eat big hole, I'm[D] filling up all the time[G].

S[G]ee the buildings ri[Am]se up to the sky, Par[D]king meters, traffic cops[G].

Y[G]ou'd best watch your re[Am]cord son, the[D]y'll come an' lock you u[G]p.

I[G]'ve been working al[D]l night.

I[C] go along into the da[G]y.

A[G]in't got much mo[D]ney now.

G[C]ot the time ahead, I [Am7]got the time ahead to pay[G]

Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, that's all you know.
Forty years of Sun death, the daylights still not over yet.
You should live to see evening fall, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.

Repeat chorus

        The above is the "Hollywood Town Hall" version, on "Blue Earth"
the second verse is slightly different, some of the lyrics are
difficult to make out but I think it is the following :-

Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, girl take the pill
Forty years of Sun death, acid rain is falling on my head.
Bush raids on the rise, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.
